📋 Description

• Own and evolve the infrastructure supporting Billing Platform services: compute, storage, networking, CI/CD, and observability • Design and maintain IaC (Terraform) for billing system infrastructure on AWS; set module patterns and standards for the team • Build and own observability systems — metrics, logging, alerting — with a focus on billing accuracy and payment reliability • Define deployment patterns and runbooks that work well in an AI-agent-assisted development workflow: clear rollback procedures, safe promotion gates, automated validation • Partner with software engineers on service design — bringing infrastructure constraints and operational requirements into the conversation before code is written • Identify systemic risks and drive improvements that span team or organizational boundaries • Lead incident response for billing system issues; own the on-call rotation and postmortem process • Mentor engineers across the team; your technical judgment should raise the floor for everyone

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years in platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles supporting production SaaS systems at scale • Deep AWS expertise: ECS or EKS, RDS (Postgres preferred), networking, IAM, cost management — you've operated these systems under real load and real incidents • Expert-level Terraform; you've designed reusable module patterns and set standards others follow • Experience building and owning observability stacks (Datadog, Grafana, or similar) at an organizational level — not just using them • Strong familiarity with CI/CD systems — Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent — including pipeline design and developer experience ownership • Kubernetes at an operational and architectural level • A track record of identifying systemic risks and driving improvements that span team or organizational boundaries • Security-first mindset: threat modeling, blast radius analysis, least-privilege by default, audit trails as a design requirement • Strong written English; at Staff level, written communication is how you scale your influence across teams • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

🏖️ Benefits

• Freedom & flexibility; fit your work around your life • Designated quarterly Whaleness Days plus end of year Whaleness break • Home office setup; we want you comfortable while you work • 16 weeks of paid Parental leave • Technology stipend equivalent to $100 net/month • PTO plan that encourages you to take time to do the things you enjoy • Training stipend for conferences, courses and classes • Equity; we are a growing start-up and want all employees to have a share in the success of the company • Docker Swag • Medical benefits, retirement and holidays vary by country • Remote-first culture, with offices in Seattle and Paris
